Which has the lowest albedo A black sheet of paper A white sheet of paper The surface of a body of water or A mirror?
a black sheet of paper
What surface has a low albedo?
The color black generally has the lowest albedo, or reflectivity.
What happens when sunlight hits a dark surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
Why don't the fuel storage tanks have black surface?
The black surface is more effective in absorbing sunlight rather than reflecting it. Hence, black surface is more effective in getting what is included beneath warmed and heated up which is risky for fuel storage tanks if its surface is black.

What has the lowest albedo?
Albedo means reflectivity. The higher the albedo, the more light (and heat) is being reflected. Generally, the darker the color, the lower the albedo : most of the energy is absorbed. Snow has a fairly high albedo, as do clouds. Black tar roofs have a very low albedo.
What classification of stars has the lowest surface temperature?
Black dwarfs have the lowest surface temperature.
Which has the lowest albedo?
A wet field
What is something that has low albedo?
An object that has a high albedo is one that is highly reflective, but a poor absorber. An object that has a low albedo is one that does not reflect well, therefore, is a good absorber. This means that a black object has low albedo.

How much solar energy is reflected back into space?
About 30% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%(Source: NASA. see link below)A:Scientists use the term albedo to describe the percentage of solar radiation reflected back into space by an object or surface. A perfectly black surface has an albedo of 0 (all radiation is absorbed).A perfectly mirror-finished surface has an albedo of 1.0 (all radiation is reflected).Earth's average albedo is about 0.3. In other words, about 30 percent of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space (from land, sea, clouds, ice and atmosphere) and 70 percent is absorbed.From point to point on the Earth's surface, the albedo varies; high for clouds or snow, low for cities and paved areas, intermediate for vegetation. Overall, averaging the bright areas with the cities, the Earth's albedo is about 0.3 or perhaps just a little higher; 0.34 or so.Well, all of it is not. Some of it is absorbed by the oceans, some by dry land, and some by the ice caps.
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica?
This would alter the snow-albedo feedback. Darkening the surface of snow/ice greatly lowers the albedo (reflectivity) of the surface. This would cause the snow/ice surface to absorb more solar radiation by virtue of its lower albedo, which would allow it to heat up more. Normally most solar radiation is simply reflected by snow back into the atmosphere and mostly out to space, so by causing it to absorb more you are heating up the lower atmosphere. By doing this, you are more likely to melt the snow/ice, whereby the albedo will be even lower, which would then absorb more radiation, etc.. This is called a positive feedback loop.
When was Into the Mirror Black created?
Into the Mirror Black was created in 1990.
